Healing Burns
Understanding Burn Injury &
When to Seek Professional Help
Burn injuries are more than just physical wounds—they touch every aspect of your life. Whether minor or severe, the pain and emotional toll of a burn can be overwhelming. At Advanced Wound Care, we understand the unique challenges you face and are here to guide you through every step of the healing process.
Recognizing Serious Burns
Not all burns are the same, and recognizing when a burn requires professional wound care is crucial:
- Second-Degree Burns: These burns cause blisters, severe pain, and affect both the epidermis and dermis. They often need professional care to prevent infection and minimize scarring.
- Third-Degree Burns: These are the most severe, damaging all layers of the skin and possibly underlying tissues. They appear white, charred, or leathery and always require medical intervention.
- Burns on Sensitive Areas: Burns on the face, hands, feet, or over major joints need immediate professional attention to prevent complications and ensure proper healing.
Signs a Burn Needs Professional Wound Care
It's essential to know the signs indicating that a burn requires specialized care:
- Infection: Look for increased redness, swelling, pus, or a foul odor, which are signs of infection that need immediate treatment.
- Delayed Healing: If a burn doesn't show signs of improvement within a week or worsens, professional care is necessary.
- Pain Management: Severe pain that is unmanageable with over-the-counter medications should be evaluated by a professional.
